Conservative MP suggests it was likely NHS staff had also been 'letting their hair down' during Covid pandemic
A Conservative MP has defended Boris Johnson and suggested it was likely NHS staff had also been "letting their hair down" during the Covid pandemic.
In her 37-page report, senior civil servant Ms Gray said many events "should not have been allowed" and the PM and his officials "must bear responsibility for this culture".Reacting to the report, Mr Bacon said: "The fact that [Mr Johnson] goes round thanking his staff for working very, very hard, 18 hours a day, to try and keep the show on the road when we were in a global pandemic is not, I think, a crime.
"We were under extraordinary pressure in a global pandemic where we didn't really know what we were dealing with."Analysis: Nikki Fox, BBC Look East health correspondent
